Abstract
Scientific publications acknowledge that geographical setting contributes
greatly to the unique identity—and eventual sustainability and distinction—of a higher
educational institution. This includes the marginalised campus—the satellite, secondary,
branch, remote, rural or regional. Alienation of the marginalised campus from the
main/mainstream campus forms an international discourse. This conceptual article
aims to make an interdisciplinary contribution to the theoretical basis for spatial planning
of a marginalised campus by considering a combination of the participative spatial
planning (PSP) approach and theories of alienation and reception from the disciplines of
the performing arts, philosophy, sociology, economy, literary history, cultural studies and
landscaping. Based on well-established theories of alienation and reception, as well as
on the positive outcomes of the PSP approach, this conceptual article provides a novel
motivation for considering the influence of participation and non-participation and the
long-term consequences of alienation and reception to planning projects.
